  15.  The Comm ittee reviewed the notifications of preliminary and final actions at the meeting. T he 
Chairs  drew attention to the apparent lack of full compliance in this area, as some Members that 
submitted semi -annual reports indicating preliminary and/or final actions  had not submitted ad hoc 
notifications of preliminary or final actions taken. The Chairs highlighted the importance of this 
notification to the Committee's role in monitoring and discussing actions taken by Members and 
recalled that the revised minimum in formation format that had been adopted by the Committee in 
October 20069 and revised in October  200910 clarified the kinds of actions to be notified and the 
information to be submitted. The Chairs also reiterated the importance of submitting these 
notific ations, as in the case of all other notifications, to the WTO Centre for Registration and 
Notification ("CRN") with a copy to the Secretary of the Committee. Members were also requested 
not to resubmit previously submitted notifications and to verify the e lectronic web -links included in 
such notifications.  
5  WORKING GROUP ON IMPLEMENTATION  
16.  During the review period, the Working Group on Implementation (WGI) held two meetings: on 
28 and 29 October 2021 and on 28 and 29 April 2022, respectively. At its meeting i n October 2021, 
Ms Yomna Elshabrawy of Egypt served as discussant and the Group  discussed issues relating to 
(i) reviews for the purpose of determining individual margins of dumping for any exporters or 
producers in the exporting country (new shipper revie ws); (ii)  price undertakings; and (iii) access 
to non -confidential case files.  At its meeting in April 2022, Mr Wolfgang Müller of the European Union 
served as discussant and the Group discussed  issues relating to: (i) order and application of tests 
for de termining the ordinary course of trade and 5% test; (ii) determination of the viability of 
domestic sales in dumping margin calculations; (iii) application of "arm's length sales test" on 
domestic sales to related parties and treatment of affiliated partie s in dumping calculations; and (iv)

amended anti -circumvention regulations. A discussion followed with Members posing questions and 
offering comments.  
19.  The Chairs  at the April and October meetings reminded Members that the approach agreed upon 
in 2015 would continue to apply in deciding whether the Informal Group would meet.  
7  OTHER BUSINESS  
20.  The Chairs  encouraged Members that had issues to raise with other Members under other 
business to provide sufficient notice to the Member concerned prior to the meeting in question to 
ensure that an answer could be provided  at the meeting.

Committee  meetings.
